The commit c3b1a35 "debugfs: make sure that debugfs_create_file() gets
used only for regulars" doesn't allow to use debugfs_create_file() for
creating directory, and the current debugfs_create_dir() cannot take
the private data from caller. There are some cases that we want to pass some
client data to dir, especially when dir is nested deeply. We can work
around to pass all necessary data with some invented data structure to
the end files, but if directory itself had private data, we could
avoid to introduce new structures just to pass data to end files.

For example, tegra iommu(smmu) case, debugfs structure could be as
below.

sys/
└── kernel
    └── debug
        ├── smmu.0
        │   ├── mc
        │   │   ├── ptc
        │   │   └── tlb
        │   └── mc0
        │       ├── ptc
        │       └── tlb
        └── smmu.1
            ├── mc
            │   ├── ptc
            │   └── tlb
            ├── mc0
            │   ├── ptc
            │   └── tlb
            └── mc1
                ├── ptc
                └── tlb

The end files, {ptc,tlb} depend on which mc? to belong to, and
which smmu.? to belong to. The parent data can be accessed from those
end files if necessary.

  dent = d_find_alias(s->private);
  cache = (int)dent->d_inode->i_private;
  mc = (int)dent->d_parent->d_inode->i_private;
  smmu = dent->d_parent->d_parent->d_inode->i_private;

You can't export a symbol that doesn't exist anymore.

I missed to send the cover letter of this patch series to LKML, which
explained the background. I attached that cover letter below. Please
read the following explanation too.

The point was that, since directory hierarchy itself already has
the necessary info, like parent <- child relationships, among each
entities(here, smmu?, mc?, cache{tlb,ptc}), I just wanted to avoid to
have those *residual* info embedded in normal data hierarchy, because
cache{tlb,ptc} is used only in debugfs, not in the normal path. With
directory/file hierarchy, we could get necessary data at any time
on-the-fly.

OTOH, if debugfs has the assumption that it has to be always projected
from the existing data hierarchy, I should fix to have the same
hierarchy in entities(here, smmu?, mc?, cache{tlb,ptc}), as Felipe
pointed out in another thread.

It might not be so bad that debugfs has the ability to manage its own
hierarchy with i_private, apart from the original data hierarchy
too. In our case, cache{tlb,ptc} data is used only for debugfs. They
don't have to be in the normal data hierarchy. This depends on the
above assumption, does debugfs have to be always projected from the
normal data hierarchy?

Any chance to get some feedback on this?

I'm also sending another version of patch, which just uses
debgufs_create_dir() as Felipe suggested, in-reply-to this mail.

I still don't like it, and then there's the basic fact that I'm pretty
sure you broke the build with the patch, but who's noticing little
things like that :)

I'd prefer not to change debugfs for this, so if you don't do that, I
don't object to your driver-specific patch.

[v2 1/1] iommu/tegra: smmu: Use debugfs_create_dir for directory

[Hiroshi Doyu]

The commit c3b1a35 "debugfs: make sure that debugfs_create_file() gets
used only for regulars" doesn't allow to use debugfs_create_file() for
dir. Keep debugfs data in smmu_device instead of directory's i_private.

Since this fixes a BUG during kernel boot, it'd be great if this could
be applied ASAP unless there are significant issues with it.

Joerg, could you please apply this patch ASAP? Currently, Tegra won't
boot in linux-next without it. Alternatively, would you like me to take
the patch through the Tegra tree? Thanks.

why would the directory need extra data ? Looking in mainline,
tegra-smmu.c doesn't have any debugfs support, where can I see the
patches adding debugfs to tegra-smmu ? It doesn't look correct that the
directory will have a data field.

cache you can figure out by the filename. In fact, it would be much
better to have tlc and ptc directories with a "status" filename which
you write ON/OFF/RESET or enable/disable/reset to trigger what you need.

For that to work, you should probably hold tlb and ptc on an array of
some sort, and pass those as data to their respective "status" files as
the data field. If tlb and ptc are properly defined structures which can
point back to smmu, then you have everything you need.

I mean something like:

struct smmu;

struct mc {
	const char *name;
	void __iomem *regs;

	struct smmu *smmu;
};

struct smmu {
	struct mc mc[2]; /*what does mc stand for ? memory controller ? */

	...
};

debugfs_create_dir(smmu);
debugfs_create_dir(mc);
debugfs_create_dir(smmu->mc[1].name);
debugfs_create_dir(smmu->mc[2].name);
debugfs_create_file(&smmu->mc[1], status);
debugfs_create_file(&smmu->mc[2], status);

or something similar. You will avoid all the trickery you did here to
achieve what you need.

directories don't need data. You don't even have a file_operations
structure so when exactly are you going to access the data ? What you
did above is actually wrong. You need to either patch this ASAP or drop
the patch you wrote and rewrite the whole debugfs support.

likewise here. What would you use that index for ? Even if you were to
access it, how would you use it ? Not to mention that you never, ever
access the private_data of the directory :-)

Just convert these two to the proper debugfs_create_dir()

it would be far better to pass a structure which you actually need. In
this case 'smmu'. That will be a lot more useful for your code.

};

debugfs_create_dir(smmu);
debugfs_create_dir(mc);
debugfs_create_dir(smmu->mc[1].name);
debugfs_create_dir(smmu->mc[2].name);
debugfs_create_file(&smmu->mc[1], status);
debugfs_create_file(&smmu->mc[2], status);

or something similar. You will avoid all the trickery you did here to
achieve what you need.

Actually I also considered {ptc,tlb} directories, but I thought that
those might be residual, or nested one more unnecessarily.

The current usage is:

  $ echo "reset" > /sys/kernel/debug/smmu/mc/{tlb,ptc}
  $ echo "on" > /sys/kernel/debug/smmu/mc/{tlb,ptc}
  $ echo "off" > /sys/kernel/debug/smmu/mc/{tlb,ptc}
  $ cat /sys/kernel/debug/smmu/mc/{tlb,ptc}
  hit:0014910c miss:00014d22

  The above format is:
  hit:<HIT count><SPC>miss:<MISS count><SPC><CR+LF>

  fscanf(fp, "hit:%lx miss:%lx", &hit, &miss);


If {ptc,tlb} was dir, the usage would be:

  $ echo "reset" > /sys/kernel/debug/smmu/mc/{tlb,ptc}/status
  $ echo "on" > /sys/kernel/debug/smmu/mc/{tlb,ptc}/status
  $ echo "off" > /sys/kernel/debug/smmu/mc/{tlb,ptc}/status
  $ cat /sys/kernel/debug/smmu/mc/{tlb,ptc}/data
  hit:0014910c miss:00014d22

One advantage of dirs could be, you may be able to check the current
status by reading "status". It might be less likely read back
practically because if writing succeeded, the state should be what was
written.

I also considered to introduce new structure like what you suggested
below, but I felt that the parent<-chile relationships are already in
directory hierarchy, and I wanted to avoid the residual data with
introducing new structures. Instead of introducing new structure,
those parent<-child relationships are always gotton from debugfs
directory hierarchy on demand. That was why I wanted to put data in
debugfs dir. With debugfs directories having private data, the
connections between entities would be kept in filesystem.

I've already sent another version of patch(v2, *1), which passes all
necessary data to a file, put in a structure. This v2 patch may be a
little bit simliear to what Felipe suggested below.

Hi,

Thank you for review. Already sent the another version of patch(v2:

if you're just printing hit and miss count, wouldn't it be a bit more
human-friendly to print it in decimal rather than hex ? no strong
feelings against either way, just thought I'd mention it.

I looked over that, but I'm not sure you should introduce that
smmu_debugfs_info structure. Look at what we do on
drivers/usb/dwc3/debugfs.c, we don't add any extra structures for
debugfs, we use what the driver already has (struct dwc3-only,
currently).

If we were to add debgufs support for each USB endpoint, I would pass
struct dwc3_ep as data for the files. See that I would still be able to
access struct dwc3, should I need it, because struct dwc3_ep knows which
struct dwc3 it belongs to.

That's what I meant when I suggested adding more structures, not
something for debugfs-only, but something for the whole driver to use.
Just re-design the driver a little bit and you won't need to allocate
memory when creating debugfs directories, because the data you need is
already available.

I looked over that, but I'm not sure you should introduce that
smmu_debugfs_info structure. Look at what we do on
drivers/usb/dwc3/debugfs.c, we don't add any extra structures for
debugfs, we use what the driver already has (struct dwc3-only,
currently).

If we were to add debgufs support for each USB endpoint, I would pass
struct dwc3_ep as data for the files. See that I would still be able to
access struct dwc3, should I need it, because struct dwc3_ep knows which
struct dwc3 it belongs to.

That's what I meant when I suggested adding more structures, not
something for debugfs-only, but something for the whole driver to use.
Just re-design the driver a little bit and you won't need to allocate
memory when creating debugfs directories, because the data you need is
already available.
